Emma Watson has a surprising next project

So we know she can read (congrats on the Ivy league degree, btw!), she can act, and she can
definitely pull off a tux - but can Emma Watson sing?!
We may just find out if the
Harry Potter star has singing chops...because her next project is rumoured to be a "romantic musical". Yes, as in a film involving "spontaneous" singing, dancing and (please, please) some sort of stylised fight scene / really agressive conga line. According to sources, Emma is in talks to play the lead (alongside "the next John Cusack" Miles Teller) in
La La Land, a musical about finding love in present-day Los Angeles. It's a project helmed by Damien Chazell, whose current movie,
Whiplash, is getting major buzz on the circuit. I don't know about you, but I cannot wait to see Emma Watson jazz hands it down the Santa Monica boardwalk!

Frank + Oak and the NBA team up on Raptors merch

Canadian fashion label Frank + Oak is always up to something, and tomorrow the Montreal-based brand will drop a 9-piece Raptors collection in collaboration with the NBA. The pieces that make up the line are directional, minimal and best of all—unisex. The pieces include a crisp Oxford shirt patterned with a subtle team logo, a heather grey waffle knit mock-neck and a leather backpack. The coolest piece might be the two-tone pop-over shirt. The Oxford's mock-neck collar and mix of materials offer a completely new take on fan gear. Even fair-weather fans (hey, no judgement) will be tempted by this sleek collab.

The collection will launch tomorrow online and at Frank + Oak's Queen West and CF Sherway Gardens outposts as well as the Real Sports Apparel shop at the Air Canada Center. The brand is set to release merch for 5 more NBA teams in 2017. Until then, go Raptors, go!

Rihanna is over people creating a competition between her and Beyoncé

The Rihanna Navy and the Beyhive have been on not-so-friendly terms on social media following the announcement of the 2017 Grammy Awards nominations.

Although RiRi expressed gratitude for her whopping eight nods, the Navy felt that she was snubbed after Anti didn't receive a nom for Album of the Year over Beyoncé's Lemonade. Naturally, Bey's fans wasted no time in coming to the defence of their Queen.

But Rihanna quickly cleared things up on the 'gram, commenting on a fan's photo, "I'm petty af, yes. But this is just unnecessary! I wish y'all would drop this topic and see things from the bigger picture! We don't need to be putting black women against each other! We deserve to be celebrated and the Grammy Academy agrees!"

Gigi Hadid is going on a social media cleanse

Gigi Hadid and Instagram are about to go on a break. The model recently revealed she'd be taking some time off from the social-media site after the holidays.

"I'm taking a month off, actually, during New Years. I'm not deleting my account, I'm just taking the apps off my phone," she told ELLE US of her social-media hiatus. "It's empowering, not just for people in the spotlight, for everyone. At the end of the day I'm choosing what I'm showing you. A lot of the world feels so entitled to other peoples' lives, which is so crazy. I'm going to take a break when I feel like it, and when I come back and share it with you, if you want to be supportive and still follow me, that's great. But, if you're going to be upset that I need to be human for a month, than maybe I don't want your follow anyway."

While we'll miss her killer feed – which includes her slaying the Victoria's Secret runway, arm in arm with beau Zayn Malik (see below), and #ootds in some of the coolest athleisure we've ever seen, we get it.

Gigi is not the only star to take a break from the 'gram this year. Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez also chose to detox from the app. "It has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as a human," Bieber wrote on Instagram before deleting his account, "I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity."

Michelle Obama was a vision in emerald Gucci

The ever-stylish Michelle Obama wore a glamorous emerald and pink gown to the Kennedy Center Honors Reception at the White House last night, and we are obsessed. (The President looks pretty dapper too.)

The Gucci number looked perfect for the holiday party season, without being too literal (ahem, red velvet). Slay, Michelle.

It wasn't the first time the First Lady wore Gucci. FLOTUS also rocked a design by Alessandro Michele on the Ellen Degeneres show back in September.
